Since its current-generation introduction in April 2011, the Hyundai Accent sedan has delivered extraordinary value by blending utility, style, performance and class-above features in a compelling package. Now in its third year of production, the 2014 model-year Accent sedan includes more standard equipment and adds new style and convenience features.

Delivering a higher level of value and sophistication in the small car class, inexpensive does not mean cheap when it comes to the Hyundai Accent sedan. One-touch triple turn signal, sliding sun visors and a driverís blind spot mirror are now standard for added safety and convenience. Stylish projector headlights with LED accents join a driverís auto-up power window and tilt-and-telescopic steering wheel on the Premium Package equipped model.

Power for the front-drive Accent sedan is generated by a 1.6L four- cylinder engine joined to a six-speed manual gearbox. A six-speed automatic transmission is an available option. Accentís comfortable ride and responsive handling is due to its control hardware. A front MacPherson strut suspension features coil springs and an anti-roll bar and is coupled to a torsion beam rear suspension with coil springs. Gas shock absorbers hold down the four corners.

Inside the cabin features an attractive arrangement of interior materials and well thought out array of displays and controls. The driver enjoys good outward visibility while presented with a comprehensive array of gauges, speedometer, tachometer, odometer, water temperature and fuel level. Four adults will find the seating comfortable both in front and rear. Even the rear storage area is pleasantly finished, with lots of cargo space for a subcompact car.
